water leaking?

Question

I just woke up to my underwear and my shorts being wet. not soaking wet, but wet enough that I can tell which parts are dry, and on my underwear you can see a line where it's wet and where it's not... it smells kind of sweet, but I'm not sure... anyone done this before?

Answer

Update: I have been at the hospital since 9:30am and I am in absolute misery. Having really painful contractions and dilated to a 3 and 80% effaced. Bleeding bright red blood though. Not sure if they're sending me home since I haven't gotten past a 3 or if they're gonna break my water.. we will see and I'll keep y'all updated!

Another update: sooooooo been here all day and have contracted, I finally made it to a 4 and they decided that I was gonna have the baby. cool. So they take me to a Labor and Delivery room at 7:30, break my water, and I get the epidural at 8. my last check was at 8:45, I was at a 7-8cm, 80% effaced, baby is +1 station, and I am more than ready for this kid to come into the world.

Answer

update for you guys: not long after making this post I started having REALLY BAD period cramps. it feels like someone is trying to rip my vagina in half.

Answer

Its possible...better to get it checked and be wrong than leave it alone and have a serious issue arise.

Answer

My midwife told me if I suspect my water is leaking I need to call her to have it checked.

Answer

a friend of mine had this issue. evidently she was leaking for several weeks and there was very little fluid left for baby and it almost became critical. best to get it checked out
